Signup for the KOI show overnighter (either Friday or Saturday night) to keep an eye on the exhibits is open. This is a free event where you will earn a nights camping and service hours. We sleep under a pavilion, watch movies and eat snacks, while doing periodic rounds of the exhibits. You will still get some sleep as well. This is an important event for the Troop, as the KOI show leadership are our sponsors/advocates to the Star Tannery Rod N Gun Club. We need a good showing each night at the KOI show to ensure we can do our shooting sports campout in the spring. Please sign up if you can make one night (or both if you want). The Permission and Information Slip is here: https://forms.gle/YGrXsJmYXPaJRnuGA

Scouts are needed to help run stations at the Pack 888 Bike Rodeo at Aldersgate UMC, Sunday Sep 7 from 2:30p - 5:00pm. Please sign up on the Troop website if you can help out. All time helping counts as service hours.
